                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Jehovah-Shalom, You have promised us peace that passes all 
understanding. That is the quality of the peace that we need for today. 
It is beyond our understanding that You can produce serenity in our 
souls when there is so much that is unfinished and unresolved and 
unforgiven in us: in our relationships, in our work, and in our 
society. Sometimes we even deny ourselves the calm confidence of Your 
peace because we are so aware of what denies Your peace in us. Take 
from us the strain and stress as our anxious hearts confess our need 
for You. Grant us Your incomprehensible but indispensable, palpable 
peace so we can be peacemakers. Give the Senators a fresh infusion of 
Your peace so that they may deal with the disagreements and discord of 
the legislative process. Help them to overcome problems and endure the 
pressures of these days. In the name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
